Ozy was fine until a couple hours after his AMPS feeding; then he had p'titis symptoms. Gave him bupe and Cerennia and he perked up. His numbers are coming down and his dose is going up....

Hi Donaleen,
Nice to hear from you.

I agree, his numbers are coming down. Today's AM cycle looks great to me. I hope his p-titus flare up is a minor one.

looking better! what a nice pmps, too. hope he doesn't keep you up tonight, though.

does he seem to still feel better tonight?

He does seem to feel better. But he smells of Lantus...second time in a week. I don't think it ever happened before.

and it's not on his fur?

i have allergies and very little sense of smell - i have to say that i've never smelled lantus, although i've heard plenty of other people say it has a smell.

I'm so glad to see you and Ozy back. I hope this flare up is quick.

I'm glad to see he is getting back up to doses that let him see some normal numbers. I'm wondering if it might work for him to allow him to go between 40-50 on three separate days before you reduce the dose. This would allow you to hold onto a dose a little longer to, hopefully, allow him to stay in normal numbers longer. No guarantees......and he will still likely bounce.

But you test enough to stay on top of low numbers. It might be worth a try. So, instead of reducing the dose each time he goes below 50, you will reduce the dose .25u after he drops between 40-50 on three separate days.

What do you think? Want to try it?

Thanks, Marje, I will do that.

And, Julie, yes he felt better after the bupe and Cerennia.
